‘Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start’ – thanks Julie Andrews.

Papa, aka Billy Bonk, founded Bonk & Co in 1976 with the simple aim of selling a more effective and efficient way of burning wood. Increasingly frustrated with his hugely inefficient open fire lead him down the path to where we now find ourselves today, improving the way we heat our homes.

His original research found that a wood burning stove produced 3 times more heat, but consumed a third of the firewood. At the start, he kept it simple, selling only a limited number of good value, well-made stoves that would be fit for purpose, and he made every effort to offer a great personal customer service.

Over the last 4 decades, our wood burning stoves may have become more efficient, cleaner burning and better looking but the original family principles remain at the heart of everything we do. What is really satisfying is now the third generation of our family is leading us into our 5th decade, and it is the third generation of those original pioneering customers who are now coming back for more.
